Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
And you are young and life is long, and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
As the verses unfold
And your soul suffers the long day
And the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room
You struggle on your way
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
Lick the dust from your eye
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
Life's a long song
We will meet in the sweet light of our dawn
But doesn't it feel good
To take off your t-shirt
And let somebody feel ya
Somebody steal ya
You can't get behind what
You can't even find
It's getting harder to deal with
Its nothing to fear, easy for you to say
Doesn't it feel bad
Things that you can't have
Even when you would meet her
Wearing a t-shirt
You can't be defined by
What you're keeping inside
Might push you into the lime-light
Just give it a try
Still don't believe in yourself
At eighteen
Life's a bad dream
But then you wake up and
Things are different for you
It seems so simple
When you step back and view it
Just find something to do
And then do it
Everybody gets a little lonely sometimes
I get so tongue-tied
I feel so old today
